many-in-one

Allows you to handle many http requests grouped into a single request's query

Example:

Suppose you have an API

• GET api/users
• GET api/customers
• GET api/countries

You can group all calls by doing one GET:

• GET api/resources ? users=api/users & customer=api/customers?id=23 & countries=api/countries

which will return an associative array with the results:

• {users: {..}, customers: {..}, countries: {..} }

Installation

npm install many-in-one

Usage

Use it by adding a new route inside your router:

var manyInOne = require('many-in-one');

router.get('/api/users', function(req, res, next) {
  //api return users...
});

/** here /api/resources/ becomes the path were we handle multiple requests.
 * You can set the path to whatever you want. After you received the result
 * you can then return it in the response
 */
router.get('/api/resources', function (req, res, next) {
  manyInOne.handleManyInOneRequest(req, function (result) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
    res.write(JSON.stringify(result));
    res.end();
  });
});
